What should be done if a client has an allergic reaction to a product during a service?

When a client experiences an allergic reaction to a product during a service, it is crucial to prioritize their health and safety. Stopping the service and seeking medical attention is the appropriate course of action. This ensures that the client receives the necessary care, as allergic reactions can escalate and may require professional assessment and treatment.

Continuing with the service could worsen the reaction or exacerbate the client's discomfort. Applying ice might provide temporary relief, but it does not address the underlying problem or ensure the client's safety. Switching to a different product without understanding the nature of the allergic reaction could potentially lead to further complications.

Responding promptly and appropriately to an allergic reaction not only protects the client's well-being but also demonstrates the professionalism and responsibility expected in the cosmetology field.
